Cambridge City Rooms by Paymán Club

the accommodation was pretty much empty I didn't see anyoe else until I checked out the room was great in the penthouse. I would rebook if I needed to come and stay again

Some key things you should know before booking - read carefully their terms. I read it, so it wasn’t a surprise for me, but many people in reviews clearly did not and they left a lot of negative comments :) In brief: they will ask for proof of your identity, fill a form and also a 100 pounds refundable deposit that you won’t get back immediately after you leave (depending on a bank). I’m still waiting for that, it’s been a week, hopefully in the next week or 2 at most I’ll see it. This is all needed to keep prices affordable (e.g. they don’t have reception to check your documents on arrival). Once you submit all the docs and pay the deposit, they will send you instructions on how to check in and get your keys. I stayed for 5 weeks. Let’s move to advantages: Location is very central, proximal to many shops, restaurants, university, public transport, train station. It was easy to get to work for me Unlike a hotel, there is a washing machine. The room was heated well even during cold times so you can easily dry your clothes inside quickly. This way you can save time and money on launderette. Unlike a hotel, there is a reasonably well-equipped and spacious kitchen. Knives though could be sharpened and some utensils restocked. There are 2 fridges, one is newer. Kitchen is not busy at all, so you can use it pretty much any time. The house is very quiet. I only saw one party that continued after 10pm though I did not hear them since I was staying on the top floor. I could easily go to bed early and get up early. Staff is very polite and friendly and always happy to help. They resolved my issues pretty quickly. My room was facing the backyard, so it was quiet. Internet connection was stable. No issues with shower as mentioned by some guests (always nice and hot)

The central location was great, the room and facilities were really clean.

Great location, loads of great restaurants nearby, and a very pleasant short walk to the city centre. Quiet and comfortable apartment. Netflix was a bonus!

If there was any kind of reception it will be more splendid
